I thought it was a lot of fun. Not every episode has to be full of sweet character moments (although, I enjoy those as well). This was really over-the-top, and I laughed many many times. The "tree-way" line was perfect.

OK, that episode was stupid as hell but it was pretty funny. It made me laugh. It was nice to see something a little different to break up the monotony of this season so far.

Pretty much it.. it was a nice standalone episode and i loved the digs at all the cheap Kung Fu movies.

I also laughed quite a bit when everybody else always backed up Marshall with his insane, Barney level stories

Slap Bet is one of my all time favorite episode though many slaps didn't live up to the running gag. The best one is Marshall knocking the shit out of Barney when he performed his ludicrous play to get back at Lily.. the slap came out of nowhere which made it so funny.

I just hope the final slap will become truly legendary (and no.. i will not wait for it).

I happened upon this show by accident while checking on an old lady in bad health that lived next door at the time. I'm not up to date on it, but it's become a favorite. Funny despite seeing the punchline a mile away.

Yeah I've always loved when they do wacky, silly stuff like this (and it was a nice break from the dull and neverending marriage storyline). I'm always surprised when other HIMYM fans don't seem to care for them.

^So did I. I'm the most PC person around, but I saw it as just making fun of kung-fu movies and nothing more.

Is that the national past-time these days, being offended by everything?

There are people out there who apparently live to get offended and raise some trouble (mainly to get into the spotlight according to my opinion).

Chances are they didn't even get that they were making fun of/paying hommage to bad Kung Fu movies because they haven't seen any. But then again they may ignore it and decide to get offended just for the heck of it.

Sadly the producers didn't stand their ground and tell them to get offended somewhere else.

I wasn't sure because it happened so quickly, but is Ted's daughters name Penny? I was also listening intently because I was wondering if they'd sneak in the Mother's name as well. No luck though, yet.

One thing I've always loved about the show is how they can change gears and get really dramatic too. As much as I've enjoyed this season so far, I think Marshal calling Lily out on leaving him and going to San Francisco was probably the best "dramatic" moment so far this season. We know Lily won't be gone too long because I don't believe she's going to miss the Wedding, but we'll see.

And I just looked it up, it appears next weeks episode is "How Your Mother Met Me." Could we finally learn her name!? Also I hope this is the episode where (I realize it is a rumor) the Mother is added into all of the "almost meetings" throughout the show.
